Gita Press, Adwait Ashram, Shri Ramkrishna Math - Some Remarkable Publications


Previously I have written a post on 'Gita Press'http://dpriya-lifearoundme.blogspot.in/2010/02/gita-press-gorakhpur.html ),  but now I just feel a need to say it again for the same publication and two other publications- 'Adwait Asharam' / 'Udbodhan Kaaryalaya' (Kolkata) and 'Shri Ramkrishna Math' Publication (Chennai).


Now why am I appreacating these publications is that they are providing our heritage (i.e.- scriptures,  religious rexts) in such a nominal price that can't be imagined in today's world. I have been reading thsese  books since last 5-6 years. All these books are so much helpful in the spiritual progress of any person, as they provide 'True Knowledge'. The Vedas, Upanishadas, Puraans and all such other books along with annotations, explanations and many discourses can be found in the shops of these publications. The way they are Serving the society is Truly Praiseworthy. I feel general people do not know much about them and so theses companies never get the true appreciation for what they have been doing since many many years..... So just thought to write about the contribution of these publication agencies towards society. They are not woring for money, as most of the publishers these days do. Otherwise there is no reason for such high prices of all thoses  so called 'Bestselleres' in todays' world...... But these publications are keeping  the profit to the mimimum level so that people can get a chance to read all the Treasures of ancient India. Our Heritage. Do visit their shops and you'll get an idea aboutthe 'vast knowledge' they contain in their stores :)


I salute them for their Charitable work, Selfless Evdeavour and Noble Aim.


Jai Shri Krishna.

Jageshwar Mahadev Mandir in Kumaon




This Sunday, I discovered a wonderful programame on DD Bharti. It s called -'Devbhoomi Kumaon'. I guess this programme takes the audience to different spiritual places in Kumaon region. I just Loved the Concept of this pogramme :) . You can catch the programme at 10:30 am on DD Bharti, on Sundays.



Last Sunday, they took us to a place called 'Jaageshwar Mahadev', which is situated near Almora, Uttarakhand, . I really LOVED the place, while watching it on tv. It has nearly 100-150 temples of different sizes, in the same area, among them, Mahamrityunjay mandir is the oldest and the most famous one. The place have a Serene atmosphere, as it is situated in the Himalayas, which gives it a speaial feeling.... Also, there are greenary around the temple area, which makes the atmosphere really beautiful!!

I searched the net regarding the temple, as I have never heard about it before, and here are some of the pages I have found about this place-

'Bhakti Dil se'- A Programme on Kaatyayani TV Channel



Dear Friends,  today I am writing about a really nice programme which comes everyday at 2:30 pm in Kaatyayani TV Channel. The name of the programme is 'Bhakti Dil Se'. In a chat show/ interview kind of setting, this prgramme invites eminent personalities and discusses about the element of Spirituality/ Devotion in their lives. I have watched a few of the episodes and really liked the Pure Content of the programme. Overall, it is a treat for all the spiritual persons/ devotees, as they come to know more about the 'leelas' of God, as the guests narrate their stories.... Very very nice concept indeed. The anchors are also very casual in their appearance, and so Direct in their Approach that you'll like it. Such programmes are so rare theses days. Do watch this programme for its  Sincere Attempt to do something so normal, but so Refershing and Pure.

I have watched the ep featuring Vocal artist- Kumar Vishu, Dance artist and Guru Shobhana Naraayan and the famous singer/ actor- Manoj Tiwari.

Here is only one video of this programme I could find on YouTube, it featurs Manoj Tiwari -

I hope you all will enjoy the show :)


Jai Shri Krishna.
